locate the jackson family the elusive sandy jackson appears before residence in her ward tonight working she says while her husband remains in minnesota being treated for his bipolar disorder while she may have the worst record for attendance at city hall cindy jackson claims that she's working through the hard times right now by working for the seventh ward after reports about the fbi investigating her to she says this in an exclusive interview tonight. >> tell us about the federal investigation, which you can share on the record. >> there's nothing i can share on the record. this is the first time we have heard from mrs. jackson since reports surfaced that she is under federal investigation like her husband. tonight she makes it clear that work is where things are going even though city records show that she has missed more city

council meetings than any other aldermen. they're concerned about how they will see and educate their children and how they're going to get employed especially if they're unemployed. this week she says that she is held a meeting with 20 + constituents about the former property. tonight the u.s. 42 road expansion. the room was filled in as the only topic on the table was construction of what she refused to say more about any plea deal are possible indictment and her family she did say this about the congressman's house his condition is status quo tonight. we are hoping that he does better so i want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for keeping him and in their prayers and for returning him to office. with pressure mounting

to try to fix that other track an eastbound train just east of east chicago just got caught up on the overhead wiring that sends electricity to the train the regional transit authority says it was actually ripped away which caused the train to stop because it did have a power as a result 5 train departures were canceled in east and west bound directions much to the relief of passengers stuck in downtown chicago and headed to south bend and finally got cleared to leave the station about 20 minutes late a lot of those passengers were supposed to leave on our earlier trains. understandably

they're disappointed, concerned and anxious which tried to provide them with the best information they can muster traveling a shorter distance. now the regional transit authority tells me that maintenance crews will work through the night as long as it takes to get the overhead wiring fixed so there will not be any concerns for the morning rush- hour so at this point commuters should still stick to their morinmorning rush-hour players. in east chicago cristóbal terrace. >> >> after stealing more than $53
